The US political thriller television series, Homeland, has opted to shoot its fourth season in Cape Town, South Africa from mid-June to November 2014.
Homeland stars Claire Danes in the role of Carrie Mathison, a Central Intelligence Agency officer who suspects that a United States Marine Corps Scout Sniper has been converted by the enemy and poses a threat to the US.
Produced by Fox 21, a division of the Fox Entertainment Group, and broadcast on US cable channel, Showtime, Season Four is set to take place in the Middle East where Mathison is posted as chief of station.
Alex Gansa, showrunner and executive producer said: “We knew going into season four that we would need to move the production overseas to tell the story of Carrie returning to the Middle East as chief of station. We are thrilled to have found a new home in Cape Town and look forward to getting season four’s production off the ground.’
